T✱he latest Nintendo Switch update is a 🍷"rebootless" one that improves the system’s general stability and adds a few new "bad words" to its banned list. 

The 14.1.2 update may not look like much with the only having one update: "General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience." Thanks to dataminer on Twitter though, we can see that there’s a little more than you think hidden in t﷽he depths of this update.

According to OatmealDome, the 14.1.2 update is a "rebootles🦋s" one meanin൩g it doesn’t require the user to manually download the update or restart their console once it’s done updating. It should quietly make its changes in the background. 

Other than a few odd bug fixes, the only other noteworthy addition in this update is a selection of new "bad words" added ꦏto the consoles banned word list. According to the dataminer, this includes "a large amount of swears, ra꧑cial slurs, words of a sexual nature, references to terrorist organizations, and more." These prohibited words have been added to all language settings on the console. 

Although it may seem weird that Nintendo has quietly rolled out a rebootless update that mainly just adds more banned words, this isn’t actually the first 🍌time it’s happened. A similar update was released for the Nintendo Switch back in December 2020 (the 11.0.1 update), so it probably isn’t a sign of very much and just a regular part of the console’s maintenance.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in An𒁏imal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for th🎶e Entertainment team every now and then.
